    wp_enqueue_style( 'normalize_css', 'http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Asap:400,700,400italic,700italic' );
    wp_enqueue_style( 'main_css', get_template_directory_uri() . '/style.css' );

}
add_action( 'wp_enque_scripts', 'wpt_theme_styles' );

Interesting, now that I've gone about three videos down in the lesson (just created the page.php file as instructed). Setting my site to use a Static Home page (set to home), the page is now blank. No error codes or anything, just blank white space.

Hey Mark

Your styles are not loaded. You have a typo in your hook name in your first add_action

add_action( 'wp_enque_scripts', 'wpt_theme_styles' );

It should be wp_enqueue_scripts

Thx
